Truth About The Navy versus Iran Affair

You can read all the stories and listen to the reports, but here are two stories that get right down to the nitty gritty of the entire affair. To heck with the fact that Iran screwed with their GPS systems – and them stole them while they had the boats. Here's what it's really all about.

So, just forget the lack of action on the part of our POTUS and Secretary of State. Just know that our boys in Navy blue are out there for you – as much as their Rules of Engagement will allow them to be.

4. A Little Less Kool-Aid, Please

So, just forget the lack of action on the part of our POTUS and Secretary of State.

You mean the "lack of" action where Kerry made a phone call and the sailors were released unharmed the next morning because Obama rebuilt diplomatic relations with Iran instead of bombing them into oblivion?

A clear thinker would realize that a peaceful return of the sailors would be preferable to the two countries firing at each other and killing those captured. It's odd to think that there are some who prefer hostile action to peaceful diplomatic results.

27. How many cons???

7. When our Navy helps others we dont make them surrender.

Were these ships "having mechanical trouble" like the story said in the beginning? If so, the Iranians could have pulled alongside and assisted. Or were they "seized"?
Either way, Iran was looking for a good opportunity to embarrass the US. Hey, they got it!

15. it seems like just yesterday that we were declaring to the world that Turkey had the right to defend

Her borders and if that means shooting down a bomber that might have crossed a border for only seconds it was alright in DC and NATO.

"President Obama spoke on the telephone Tuesday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and expressed the United States' and NATO's support for Turkey's right to defend its sovereignty, the White House said in a statement. "

"As we have repeatedly made clear, we stand in solidarity with Turkey and support the territorial integrity of our NATO ally, Turkey," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said after an emergency meeting of the 28-nation defense pact."

16. Are You Really Going to Claim

That if the US found a couple Iranian boats filled with Iranian sailors in US territorial waters saying that their navigation was down, they would just smile, give'em a hand, and send them on their way?

29. Maybe if the US military and government kept their nose out of everyone else's business

and quit acting like the Team America World Police while they have entirely messed up the Middle East by supported the Wahabi Gulf Terrorism States that finance ISIS and Al Qaeda while at the same time causing the EU's largest refugee crisis since WW2......maybe.....just maybe....these sailors wouldn't have found themselves in that unfortunate situation in the first place.
